3. Background International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD - Cairo 1994) Resolution: Integrating population dynamics in development policies, a priority Scientific basis for effective and efficient advocacy Set up national observatories to monitor the demographic dividend Build a DD index based on a set of indicators specific to each SD pillar Awareness of African decision makers on the importance of the Demographic Dividend (DD): African governants importance of the implementation of all actions of the roadmap Particularly the policies to be put in place for a full exploitation of DD all unanimous on the African Union Roadmap Support the production and updating of National DD Profiles in each country Strengthen the capacity of sectoral planning actors at the local and national levels Africa Union key Measure: Supporting countries in harnessing DD (measuring, monitoring and implementing DD through Sensitive Budgeting) Synergy with universities and think tanks to generate new evidence 3

4. Tools and extensions Tools and extensions Studies how each individual in a given population produces, consumes, shares and saves resources NTA profiles generated for 23 African countries NTA A method for quantifying and valuing domestic production and consumption NTTA profile for 08 countries of Sahel women empowerment and demographic dividend (SWEDD) project. NTTA A tool to measure progresses of a country in harnessing demogrpahic dividend accross different dimensions: economic dependency coverage, quality of living environement, poverty dynamics, extended human development, Network and territories. DDMI Process for assessing and considering DD issues in budget allocations. It allows to assess the effective consideration of DD in public policies. DDSB

9. Diffusion and Knowledge sharing Alignment of countries with Software development for wide distribution of tools NTA/NTTA GDDI 1.0 App DDMI 1.0 App Face-to-face and online training on the tools developed Building Capacity Creating a community of good practice 5 Certificates 1 Master in Generational Economy and Public Policy Related to Generational Economy Networked Communities of Practice Certification and Master courses in generational economics 9

10. Conclusion Population dynamics involve socio- economic issues: NTA : estimate social demand NTTA: quantifies unpaid domestic work and emphasizes important dimension of gender inequalities. Policy guidance requires an analytical framework adapted to the country context: DDMI DDSB: Assesses public action to harnessing Demographic Dividend 10
